Re: 2c:35-10(A) Possession

It depends on the amount you were charged with. If it is under 50 grams it is a disorderly person's offense and will remain in municipal court. Anything over that amount goes to the County Prosecutor.

As to what will happen, I would need more information. You are probably looking at either a diversion from prosecution or probation.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.
